Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

This circuit consists of a pulse powered TTL decoder driving a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) latch. A lateral PNP and vertical NPN transistor form the latch. When the power gate signal is low, no power is supplied to the decoders. The latch is off and the output is low. When the power gate goes high, all but one out of 2N decoders turn on. The selected decoder (i.e. all address inputs high) supplies gate current to the SCR causing it to latch-up (turn on). The output line goes high. Once the selected SCR is latched the power gate signal is returned to its low level, turning off the power to the decoders. In any later cycle, with a different address, the previously latched SCR is reset by its decoder, and a different SCR becomes latched.

Low Power Latch Decoder

This circuit consists of a pulse powered TTL decoder driving a silicon-
controlled rectifier (SCR) latch. A lateral PNP and vertical NPN transistor form
the latch. When the power gate signal is low, no power is supplied to the
decoders. The latch is off and the output is low. When the power gate goes
high, all but one out of 2N decoders turn on. The selected decoder (i.e. all
address inputs high) supplies gate current to the SCR causing it to latch-up (turn
on). The output line goes high. Once the selected SCR is latched the power gate
signal is returned to its low level, turning off the power to the decoders. In any
later cycle, with a different address, the previously latched SCR is reset by its
decoder, and a different SCR becomes latched. A Schottky diode may be
included in the base collector of the decoder to prevent saturation. This circuit
reduces substantially the power dissipated in performing a 1 of 2/N/ decode.
